I wrote this recently in June after my mom died. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. The Lord gave me this after a hug from a special person.

Enjoy!LOVE BUGAn affectionate embraceOr hug of love,Is so reassuring and comforting.Every time my love hugs meI feel safe and secure.My mind wandersTo my FatherIn Heaven.His embrace and His loveIt endures forever.It is perfect.It is kind.It is everlasting.It is patient.It never forsakes me,Or leaves me.It never keeps a record Of my wrong-doings.An embrace is a sacred thingI say bring it on!It makes me feel safe.So take a leap of faithAnd be embraced.Be refreshed, be reassured!As I am heldI breathe in and breathe outWith a cleansing breath.Oh so healing, Oh so good.My heart leaps with joy.I never want the embrace to end.Life calls. I hear it in my head. I take the moment inAnd reluctantly release the embrace. I look forward to the next hug.I am hookedI am transfixed. I’ve got that “Love Bug.”

P.S. I ALSO THINK I HAD JUST GOT BACK FROM A JONAS BROTHER CONCERT, YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THE SONG “LOVE BUG.” LOL!

Today everything is about the “Go Green” campaign. When I was in school everything was about “Pollution” and what can we do to cut down on it. Just like today we had projects and discussion with our teachers of how to rid our world of the pollution and what the greatest concerns were. There are so many things that we have stopped doing to help cut down on pollution. My mom would stop at McDonald’s and get us a burger and after eating that we would throw the garbage out the window. It was an acceptable thing at the time. As I got older and the awareness to pollution grew, they cities started putting up signs stating that there will be fines for throwing garbage on the streets. We had to get to a place of being fined because not many wanted to take the future problems seriously.

This is a continuous problem God has with His people. We pollute ourselves with internet access, movies, TV, magazines and music and we have trouble living how God wants us to live, here is what God want to say to us:James 2:27b keep oneself from being polluted by the world. –GOD-

We must decide today to take the whole truth of God’s word and live by it otherwise we will be fined. Some of the fines we are paying come in the form of natural consequences to our actions like broken marriages, STD’s, Aids, sex offenses, unwanted pregnancies, rejection, loneliness, pride , drug and alcohol abuse.Pray with me: Father in Heaven I want to keep myself from being polluted by the world. Help me to live it! In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Topics Elaine Speaks On

Put Your Thoughts on a Shelf

Your closets may be clean, your spices in alphabetical order, but how’s the space between your ears? When the pace of life leaves little time to process and organize our thoughts, our minds can become cluttered with “woulda, shoulda, coulda”. When the temptation to put ourselves down or compare ourselves to others strikes, defeat and condemnation can lure us into faulty thinking,

Through humor and drama Elaine shows what a chaotic mind looks like. Listen as she helps to identify “stinkin’ thinkin’ and what the Bible has to say about it. Then learn about the tools God has given us to overcome these thoughts and move to become the person God created you to be.

Personalities Plus

Do you find yourself trying to change the people around you? Frustrating, isn’t it? Why can’t everyone be just like me? But do you really know yourself? Take the test; find out what makes you you. Understanding ourselves – and others – better allows us to change what we can and live with what we can’t. Truly, a life changing experience. Elaine’s passion for teaching the personalities comes from the great success she has had personally in her own relationships, especially with her husband and children. She bases the teaching on Romans 12:18 If possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Elaine is a certified Personality Trained through Florence Littauer’s Classervices, Inc. Classervices, located in New Mexico, is a Christian Organization that teaches individuals how to speak and write professionally. They have been around for over 40 years.

The Greatest Gift Ever

Using a wrapped gift, Elaine demonstrates that Jesus Christ is the greatest Christmas gift ever given. Using Scripture and her testimony, Elaine clearly communicates the gospel message and invites listeners to receive this incredible gift from God. The Greatest Gift Ever is a wonderful message for a Christmas tea, or any other evangelistic event and can be customized with a skit for your special gathering. How can you create your testimony, so you can share with others?

LOVING GOD-We love because He first loved us. Busyness always keeps us from meeting with God, where our deepest satisfaction comes from. King David writes in Psalm 63 his desire toward God. His satisfaction in God. His dependence upon God, and assurance of safety. Elaine does a drama called “I Invite You Into My Sanctuary” describing the place where she sees God’s power and glory. She will challenge you to commit yourself to God, to be easy and pleased, and quiet from the fear of evil. Explore with her the answer to the questions “how and why David loved God more than his own life?”

Theater with a message:RUTH- There is many messages that can come through in the story of Ruth. As Ruth trusts God with her life she finds God blesses her and unimaginable and amazing things happen in her life (length of this one women show can be altered to fit the duration of any event).

THE INNKEEPERS DAUGHTER- A woman, Ana, tells her story of living and working at an Inn, where the miraculous event of Jesus’ birth occurred, and her life was changed forever.

A LOOK AT CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD- The wonder of childlike joy is expressed when three young sweet innocent sisters come together to read the Christmas story that always teaches them the rich beauty of Christmas. This year they realize they need a gift for the baby Jesus, what will it be?.
